Moving 3,000 Meters

This Instructional Activity is a part of the Lesson 13, Unit 2, Grade 6. In this activity, students use tables of equivalent ratios to solve three problems, with decreasing scaffolding throughout the activity. For the first problem, students start by examining a table of equivalent ratios, noticing that descriptive column headers are important in helping you use a table of equivalent ratios to solve a problem. For the second problem, there is an empty table students can fill in. The third problem does not provide any scaffolding, allowing students to choose their own method of solving the problem.
